Larry,

It is not the least expensive coffee around, bit I have found that Peet's old standby, Major Dickason's Blend in the decaf version is very little different from the regular version. It is a deep roast Indonesian blend, so it will be a full-bodied coffee, but also low in acid when vacbrewed.

Thanks for all the suggestions.. One thing about living in the country is the brands available are limited an no doubt some of these are regional brands as well. I will google them and see if they are listed for sale on line anywhere.

Hi Larry, I'm sorry to hear about your heart problems. As you know I have
some other health problems. Well, because of them I had to switch to decaf a
number of years back. What I have been using for a few years now is Kirkland
Signature (pre-ground, in a large can) from Costco. Yes I'm sure it would
taste better if I ground the beans myself, but I'm not that much of a coffee
snob anymore and this coffee is not only economical (3 lbs for under $11)
but very tasty. Thing is you have to have a membership to Costco or have
someone who does pick it up for you.

From the grocery store, the one I liked the best was Puroast acid free. They
had a French Roast decaf a while back (before I started using the other),
but I haven't looked for a long time because I've been happy with the Costco
coffee.

After my last post It occurred to me that I don't recall any question on
what decaf coffee some of us might find decent. I always used regular coffee
till about 6 months ago when it became apparent that caffeine was causing
some heart problems I developed. Not a great place to be when you enjoy
experimenting with coffee makers and types as I do.

First I went to a couple standard store brands an found them wholly lacking
in taste. Then I went to the 8"0clock De Cafe beans which got a very good

Larry, I have a recommendation for you, but I must tell you I am part owner of the roasting company I am recommending. It is CaffeMarco (www.caffemarco.com).

Larry,

I have a recommendation for you, but I must tell you I am part owner of the roasting company I am recommending. It is CaffeMarco (www.caffemarco.com). We are located in Paris, Kentucky. Our coffee is organic, fair trade. We roast it in a Primo 12 pound roaster. Our current decaf is a dark roast from Guatemala and is water processed. When we have a pot of decaf brewed, some people who taste it do not realize it is decaf until we tell them. I think you would enjoy it.

Larry,
Add chickory to coffee. It extends the amount of coffee and has no
caffeine. It's a taste they use in the South, and will make the coffee mix
have half the caffeine. Some drink just chickory, but I find it too bitter
alone.

Thanks for all the suggestions.. One thing about living in the country is
the brands available are limited an no doubt some of these are regional

Computers are a boom and a bust for the public. We all of a sudden can't live without them and at the same time they are putting everyones lives at peril.. I hope you get it fixed soon, nothing worse that security issues on computers. Glad you told us as I was about to check it out.
